“Marci was GREAT! I had concerns leaving our dog with anyone as he can be a handful, not in a bad way but a bit anxious and high energy. Marci was very confident he would not be a problem. Her calmness and demeanor was a perfect fit for Robin Hood. Although she has multiple dogs and cats of her own, Robin was able to adjust and become part of the pack during his stay. When in need for a pet sitter again I’m checking in with Marci!”
“Highly recommend!!! She took care of my little dog and treated him as her own. She has a really nice area in her backyard designed for your doggies to go play. She is very attentive to your doggies needs. Your doggies will definitely be in good hands with her!”
“Steph was GREAT!!! She treated my baby as her own and provided daily updates and pictures. My dog didn’t even miss me like I thought he would because he was treated so good! lol! I will definitely use her again!!”
“Sheila was fabulous! I was nervous leaving my sweet puppy for the first time and for a whole week at that but she made me feel so comfortable the moment I dropped my Charli girl off. She sent videos throughout the week and Charli was a very happy girl when I picked her up. 10/10 recommend!”
“Taylor and her family are absolutely the best. They took good care of my Gizzie while we were on vacation. She updated me daily with some great photos showing her having a great time. Looking forward to Gizzie going back to their house in November. I would highly recommend them to anyone to take care of their fur babies. Thanks again :)”
“I’m so pleased with how Randa and Phil took care of my senior yorkie. I was so apprehensive about leaving her but felt immediate relief as I gave Skoshi to them. They bonded immediately. I received pictures throughout Skoshi’s stay with them and was so happy to see how relaxed she was. I will definitely use their services again. Thank you Randa and Ohil. I’m”
“Lisa did a fantastic job with my dog Bruno. She kept me updated the whole time. She sent multiple photos throughout the day that helped keep me at ease. My dog Bruno was cared for very well in her care.It was our first time boarding and it won’t be our last. I highly recommend Lisa for pet care. Will definitely return in the future.”

“First time using rover and our experience with Ms. Nancy and her husband was AMAZING!!! We would get responses really quickly, photos and videos of Ace having the time of his life! Will definitely book with Nancy again and highly recommend!”
“Samantha & Ryan took care of my 7 years old Princess on 2018 Memorial long weekend while I was out of town. They competently gave her meals, took her for a walk and constantly updated me with her pictures & status. I have highest confidence in their care and felt relaxed leaving my dog under their supervision. I believe that they are competent and experienced enough to fit in any dog care capacity.”
“Laura took good care of my 2 60lb GSPs and provided frequent updates. Her fenced-in yard was perfect for high-energy and athletic dogs to run around. I can attest that she made sure they got plenty of needed exercise. When I brought them home they were tuckered out, and that is easier said than done with GSPs. I can recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dogs and treat them like her own.”
“We are very happy that we found Blair! We were out of town for a wedding, Blair kept up updated the whole time we were gone and sent pictures of our pups having a great time playing in the back yard. We will be using Blair from now on when we have to leave our dogs over night! Love the communication and how her and her husband take care of them!”
“Michelle is wonderful. She was so kind in helping us navigate the app. Gracie enjoyed her time with Michelle! She sent pictures daily along with a note that was greatly appreciated! We Wii use Michelle again when we go out of town!”
“I have used Rover many, many times and Anthony is by far one of my very favorite sitters. My husband and I were in a pickle (someone else bailed last minute) and Anthony stepped in and did an amazing job! He was friendly, great at communicating, flexible when my plane landed late, sent tons of pics and I could tell Max was well-loved. I will definitely, 100% use Anthony again to take car of Max.”
“Daily updates. She treated ours like they were her own. This was our first time using a sitter that wasn’t a family member and she made us feel really comfortable!”
